I hate coming out of the closet Serenity.   ;D  It's next door to Mrs Clive's identical closet and we are separated by that damn fax machine and a telly so I can watch my beloved "Neighbours" which she scorns.  Mine is the tidy closet, hers is the untidy one.  Typical of a woman isn't it?   ;D  ;D  ;D

Clive, I've resized your pic, if you'll consent to an edit!   :)

Drat!  I was just doing the same.   ::)

(Edit:  Now down from 300-and-something kb, to around 24kb.  Those with V90 modems will thank you for it.)

Don't worry, Rod - looks like it's been sorted.  I put a resized pic up under Clive's post, but couldn't remove the original (too big) attachment.  Something perhaps to bring to Sean's attention?   :-

Mine is OK as it is, isn't it?   :)

I don't mind being resized at all.   ;D

Sure -- if you've got BB, Simon.  Otherwise that 120kb difference between the original and optimised versions of your pic can have a signficant impact on loading time for someone with a 56k connection.  The filesize of pics is what makes a normal webpage either appear almost instantly, or have you sat around yawning.

Note there is a further penalty with forum pages such as these, since they have to be coded on the fly by the server before they can appear.  Therefore anything that can help speed up a page's loading time is all right by me.   ;)

Sure - GFI, Simon!  :)

(Edit:  I note both files are now larger again.  What method did you use to save them, Simon?)

Yes, I noticed the files were larger now.  The one on Clive's post is not a copy of your one, so that's why that one is still about 60K, but I can't explain how mine has increased.  All I did was save them as .jpgs in Paint Shop Pro.   ???

Don't you just love all those lovely cables?   ;D  They send my wife crazy.   ;D What's that black contraption with the red handles on the left Adept?

Those are just the visible ones, the rest are hidden :o

The red handled thing is my steering wheel Clive, so I can play all my driving games. It goes with the pedals on the floor. It was a bargain I couldn't resist, mis-priced in Dixons at £9.99 instead of £29.99. The Manager wasn't best pleased  ;D >:D

I would love to know how you can tidy all your cables up, but next time you look, they're all tied in knots again!  I'm sure there's a creature that goes round at night time, tying everyone's wires in knots!!   >:D >:D
